Annabeth POV

I am sitting in my room playing with my silver Kinetic Sand. Pathetic. Who knew lying in your bed waiting for your alarm to go off was so difficult!

I sigh.

Oh well. I guess I... BEEP BEEP BEEP! Yes! Last day of school! Let's do this! I jump in my car and head to school.

"Hey Thals!" I wave to my bestie.

"Hey Annie!" Ug! She knows I hate it when she called me that!

"Don't call me that!" I yell back.

"Whatever you say!" She rolls her eyes. Whatever.

As we head into school, my mind is on SUMMER. Not school, which is unusual for me. But Thalia and I made plans to her cousin, Thalia's, parents' beach house for all of summer with our other friends, Piper, Selena, and Juniper. Mr. and Mrs. Grace let Thalia choose 4 friends, and her brother, Jason, choose 4 friends. It's gonna be great! Just me, the beach, and a book.

I start to walk to class, hoping this day goes by fast. The last day isn't a real day, is it?

As the bell rings, we are told to just read or text for the day. Just no yelling.

Sweet!

I immediately text Thalia, who is in the class across the hall.

Annabeth: What time are you picking me up to leave tonight?

Thalia: 7:00. And we'll get there at about 3:45 am. Ready?

Annabeth: When does school end again?

Thalia: LOL. Ikr. Gtg. Mr. Spielberg is actually making us do math!

Annabeth: 2+2=Fabulous! L8r!

After what seems like lifetime, the bell to end the day finally rings, and I join Thalia, Selena, Piper, and Juniper. I am driving them home, as we all live in the same (upperclass) neighborhood.

Finally, I get home and start packing. Clothes, check. Toiletries, check. Money, double check (my mother had put extra on her card). Shoes, check. Flashlights, and other random necessities, check. Books, check! (Can't forget those!)

"Alright!" I sigh, "Done!" And just in time, too. As I glance at my watch, I see it is 6:34.

SNACKS! Dang it! I forgot snacks! I have 25 minutes till Thalia picks me up in her parents van with her parents and the rest of our friends. But Thalia's always late!

I quickly hop into my car and scramble to the grocery store, buying everything that looks appealing. Mostly sugary candy. With 4 full bags of sweets, I drive back home.

6:58. Good. I gather my 6 bags and head to the door.

6:59

7:00

7:01

7:02

Thalia?

7:03

I space out. While reading, and when Thalia shows up it is 7:13.

Oh Thalia

After 7 hours, and 4 bags of food later, we get there. I almost walk to the wrong house. After all, I was told this was a beach 'house'.

It's not. It's a beach 'mansion'.

We (the girls) are told we are to stay on the 4th floor. Boys on the 5th, Mr. And Mrs. Grace on the 3rd. 1-2 are living spaces as well. 1 being kitchen etc. 2 being the giant living room(s). I grab the best room and fall immediately to sleep...
